An August dream
A moonlit stream
Or daytime travel on wide sunbeams
*
Heat in the air
We must take care
To take time
on the path that we follow
The experiences that we have
Should be glad
and not sad
Warmth in life should fulfill us
Not make us feel hollow
*
It is up to us
To find the ways
To be strong on the journey
Learn to avoid worry
But the world coming at us
Could also be graceful
More clear and not confusing
or blurry
*
Summer vision
Not superstition
Or foolish battles and indecision
*
Change in the air
We stay aware
In hard times
we should not have to wallow
The tribulations that we have
We get through
We should laugh
Clarity should protect us
Not be hard to swallow
*
It is up to us
To find the ways
To be strong for the season
It helps to use reason
But the world coming at us
Can help us be grateful
With cheer and peace in truth
if we need some
*
Hot days and nights
Fire we fight
Our calm views matter with the
Heat and light
